Why does anything need to be bind on pickup? I can see BoE,but not on pickup.Because you never know it is until you have picked it up.You can only decon it unless you equip it.If you dont need or want it,you're stuck.BabeestorGor wrote: »threefarms wrote: »

Because it would lead to a lot of problems, maelstrom weapons for example.. people would pay godly amounts for them which would not only give a player who doesnt deserve the weapon but also encourage gold selling/buying to get the "best" items.1 -
Darkonflare15✭✭✭✭✭threefarms wrote: »Then you could sell what you no longer use or want.
Well it depends gear like stuff in White Gold Tower, Imperial city prison, and Maelstrom Arena should be bind on equip since these items are not really easy to acquire and should be worth money in stores. Item sets like Briar Heart that are found in chests, world bosses, and daily quests should stay bind on pick up since these sets are a lot easier to acquire and would over saturated the market.1 -
Peel_Ya_Cap_517✭✭✭✭NoNo, some items need to be BoP. I do agree that they need more BoE items though (especially in the latest patch).
Agreed. I think there are many many items which should certainly be BoP such as Monster Helms, Trial Gear, and special dungeon sets such as Imperium, Overwhelming, Spellweave, etc.
There are others that could be unbound such as the Orsinium daily quest setsN64 NA EP0 -

Actually,if you dont know how to use that OP weapon,it wont do you that much good.It's the skills you are given that add to the usage of any weapon.I use a bow that is a much lower level than I am,but with the skills I have honed,I kick butt. :}0 -

✭✭✭✭✭YesStop with the p2w argument,welcome to 2016. Everyone's tired of grinding for stuff,ppl pay to get what they want.it makes them happy for a little while,stop trying to be everyone's parent.you have to buy the game,you have buy internet service,you have buy electricity. Don't like it, go hide in in "survival mode" for all i care.not everyone has time to grind.6 -

✭✭NoI don't think being able to sell gear that you "no longer use" would be good for the game. If that would be possible, all gear and crafting material that is not max level would be nearly worthless.
It would also allow guilds to just get a few perfect gear sets which then could be put in the bank and used by the person who currently needs it. This would be fun in the beginning when you can just borrow a full legendary v16 lich set or v16 robust briar jewelery from a guild mate, but probably not healthy for the game on long term.0 -
MissBizz✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I would love to see more bind on equip and less bind on pickup. I understand gear needs to bind so it doesn't become instantly worthless.. But wow... It seems everything is bind on pickup now

Sausage✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoWhy not, if Housing is gonna replace long-term progression. I think BoP items were absolutely needed at the beginning. Monster Set grind kept players going like first 1 year and I could be wrong but still does.
If they do Housing like this, every max level alt gives House Upgrade, 4 total, then PVP extension, you need like 3 mill AP, IC extension you need like 1 mill TS, then some other extensions too, that should give 2500+ hour of content easily. That should be enough for long time.Edited by Sausage on January 26, 2016 7:27AM0 -
NBrookus✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭YesIMO, the only BoP items should be top tier rewards vMSA, items from the upcoming new trials and *maybe* vet dungeon helms OR shoulders, but not both.
Old trial items should be changed to BoE -- they are no longer top level gear. And dropped sets like Briarheart should never be BoP.0 -
Shadesofkin✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoI'm only choosing "no" because some of it *should* be bound. There should be a reward that is exclusive to doing certain content. It's bad enough that PvP players are getting a Vendor who will sell them monster helms, but heaven forbid they be allowed say "Maelstrom Weapons" or some such.
Now, that being said, the economy got hurt badly by the lack of high end gear being unbound, so I just want a fair balance between the two, and maybe scrolls of unbinding in the crown store.0 -
jzholloway✭✭✭YesYes - I understand the idea behind it, but if we have friends or guild mates running the same type of build as us, it would be so much better to be able to hand our older gear off - or gear we have tried and don't need anymore - to them. Maybe not allow us to sell in guild store, but to trade/sell among friends or random meets, absolutely.PC/NA1 -
Artjuh90✭✭✭✭✭
✭Noi actually agree on some things being BoP. although would rather see more currency with vendors which makes that you dont get good items with useless traits. otherwise we would see alot more post like about a week or 3 ago about being able to buy gold with crowns -> P2W.....
and it isn't like content is so hard or gear is so mutch beter that you REALLY must have them. no they are slightly beter, just work for them0 -
kirk_lewis_ESO✭✭✭Bind on pick-up npc given weapons and special weapons like maelstrom weapons but bind on equip the common stuff from trash mobs etc. Being able to sell the special stuff makes the dungeons and quest moot as i can just buy them. Risk vs reward. Casualization has to stop somewhere.Edited by kirk_lewis_ESO on January 26, 2016 4:26PMTemplar - looking for a new job (Blame the economy).0

Absolutely NOT! U want to kill any interest to any content with non-binding gear. U don need to go somewhere (dungeon, trial, etc) if u can just buy it. The game will fall to 100% korean grind-crap with non-bind system.
You need to think before writing same things next time.
The other way to do it better is it to allow to exchange items between members of group in which these items were got, during short time. For example an hourEdited by Lokov on January 26, 2016 4:33PMCaptain Org As More |Mag Blade| DC

Define "deserve".
I was farming IC dungeons since release... Dont have that spell power cure set.
I was farming vDSA in 1.6 for restoration staff... Only got a weighted one a couple of weeks before IC release and defending one a bit later.
Now I'm trying to get MA weapons I need for my build... But probably, I do not deserve them, just like spell power cure and that resto staff.
The thing is, with BoP system even those who can farm weapons/gear have very slight chances to get it.Edited by LadyNalcarya on January 26, 2016 5:01PMDro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭NoJust make it a Crown Store consumable item for like 1.5k crowns, that can turn one piece of equipment / weapon to Bind on Equip, and we might have something.
Otherwise, fine as it is.... Mai cave. >:30 -
Oreyn_Bearclaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YesIts a balance. As a general rule, more stuff needs to be BoE. They need to make it profitable for people to farm existing content. I am okay with certain items like maelstrom weapons being BoP, but if they werent, I would be okay with that as well.
Eliminating all BoE would likely tank the market for a lot of things. Mat prices would definitely fall through the floor.
As opposed to eliminating BoP, I would also very much support a system that promoted trading of like items. For example, I could trade a spell power cure Robe for some boots, or a Maelstrom Resto staff for a Bow. That sort of thing. That would keep "rare" items within the hands of those that can clear content, but it would eliminate the maddening frustration of duplicate drops.1
